How to Mass Download Ads from a Brand

Atria's Ad Discovery lets you browse any brand's active ads on Meta and download multiple creatives at once, without going through the Meta Ad Library manually.

Step 1: Open Discovery

Log in to app.tryatria.com and click Discovery in the left sidebar.


Step 2: Search for the brand

Type the brand name in the search bar at the top (e.g., "Gymshark", "Huel", "Ridge Wallet"). Atria will display all active ads from that brand currently running on Meta.

Refine your results with filters:

Filter

Options

Format

Image, Video, Carousel

Platform

Facebook, Instagram, or both

Country

Filter by market

Date range

Ads that started within a specific period

Tip: Use the brand's exact Facebook page name for the most accurate results. If nothing shows, try their business name or page URL.


Step 3: Select the ads you want

Once the results load, select what you need:

  • Individual ads: Click the checkbox on each ad card

  • All ads on the page: Use the Select All option at the top of the results

A counter shows how many ads are selected. If the brand has a large volume, scroll down or paginate to load more before selecting.


Step 4: Download

With ads selected, click the Download button at the top of the page or in the floating action bar.

Asset type

Format

Static ads

.jpg or .png

Video ads

.mp4

Multiple ads

.zip containing all selected assets

Large batches with video may take a minute or two to process.


Alternative: Save to a collection instead

If you don't need local files, save ads directly inside Atria for team collaboration or Raya analysis:

  1. Select the ads you want

  2. Click Save (or Add to Collection)

  3. Choose an existing collection or create a new one

  4. Access them anytime from Brand World β†’ Collections

Collections are useful for building shareable swipe files, organizing competitor creative by brand or format, and feeding ads to Raya for analysis and brief generation.


Common use cases

  • Competitor research: Download a brand's creative library to analyze hooks, offers, and visual style offline

  • Creative briefing: Pull references for designers or agencies as visual direction

  • Team presentations: Include competitor ad examples in strategy decks or client reports

  • Swipe file backups: Archive high-performing ads before they go inactive

  • Iteration references: Download ads you want to rework using Atria's ImageGen or Raya


Frequently asked questions

  • Is there a limit to how many ads I can download at once? There may be a batch limit depending on total file size. If the download fails or doesn't start, try selecting fewer ads, especially if the batch includes videos, and download in smaller groups.

  • Can I download ads from any brand? Yes. Atria pulls from the public Meta Ad Library, so any brand running ads on Facebook or Instagram is searchable, including brands you don't follow or track inside Atria.

  • Do downloads include ad copy? Downloads include the creative assets only (images and videos). Ad copy, headlines, and descriptions are visible on each ad card inside Atria but are not embedded in the downloaded files. To keep copy alongside creatives, save to a collection and reference them inside the platform.

  • What happens with carousel ads? Carousel ads may download as a single asset or as individual frames depending on how they're structured. Check the zip file for all cards after downloading.


Need help?

If downloads fail or files appear corrupted, contact support with:

  • Your Atria account email

  • What happened (download not starting, empty zip, error message)

  • The brand name and number of ads selected

  • A screenshot of any error

Use the support widget in the bottom-right corner of the app, or message your CSM on Slack.
